Video: Cop Draws Sidearm on Man for Filming

sum laws [link to www.ehlinelaw.com]

ACLU v. Alvarez, 679 F.3d 583 (2012). There, the ACLU successfully won an injunction to prevent enforcement of an Illinois eavesdropping statute. The law prohibited any recording of any conversation unless all parties consented to the recording,

this is california, cops gotta arrest drug dealers and gang members so when you are video taping them for no reason they don't know if you are the brother of Tupac Mendoza or whatever and you're gonna assassinate him or what but once he found out you're not that he left.

When you stick a camera in a cop's face, believe me, he is itching for a reason to take you to jail. Section 148(a)(1) of the California Penal Code gives him the authority to do so if he believes that you are making his job more difficult or more time-consuming than necessary.

So he's concerned that the man filming might be one of those "constitutional crazy guys." How not shocking that the cop who doesn't respect the highest law of the land, is the same cop who'll draw his weapon and strut around with it in his hand hanging at his side like some kind of thug.

Why'd he break contact so quickly? Because he knew he was in the wrong. That departments investigation need not go any further than that. It's an internal investigation though. They're not going to find their buddy out of policy, despite that Officer Treason (finds the constituon crazy) was walking around with his gun drawn while he had his back to the dangerous suspect. There, again, we find evidence of what was happening there. The officer didn't turn his back to someone he deemed an immediate lethal threat. Thus, what could his motivation have been?

Quite obviously, intimidation. Officer Treason then intentionally intimidated a resident while utilizing the threat of lethal force to do so. He thinks he's above the law, but that's not the case. That renegade cop is in violation of the law. He's a criminal, and should be stripped of his gun and badge and locked up with the rest of the scumbags who would threaten murder.

Throw another Idiot on the Barbie, Where did he go ?

Has anybody seen an Australian Guy with a Cock in mouth running around here ?

I would like to ask him if he enjoys suck starting TSA service pistols but

The fucking expert has vanished !

Hey Dipshit

There's an expectation of privacy in the restroom. Per case law. Some of us actually have college degrees and are educated on the law. In the open outside you or anyone else can record cops or people going about. You need to do some learning.

Hi Cock Holster,
No you do not have my permission to record me or my family for your gay porn..

This doesn't apply to people recording in public. There is no expectation of privacy out in the open.

Huh? WTF are u saying?

I already posted that big mouth. There is nothing to suggest that conversation might be private and confidential and the fact that the PD concerned didn't even mention the filming was an issue. Recording conversations eg telephone calls require both/all parties consent.
You don't even know the law. Again you're talking shit big mouth.

Eaves dropping concerns private calls you dummy.

Oh i'm here tough guy.

Your Right to Take Videos and Photographs

When in outdoor public spaces where you are legally present, you have the right to capture any image that is in plain view (see note below about sound recording). That includes pictures and videos of federal buildings, transportation facilities (including airports), and police officers.

When you are on private property, the property owner sets the rules about the taking of photographs or videos. If you disobey property owners' rules, they can order you off their property (and have you arrested for trespassing if you do not comply).
Police should not order you to stop taking pictures or video. Under no circumstances should they demand that you delete your photographs or video.
Police officers may order citizens to cease activities that are truly interfering with legitimate law enforcement operations. In general, a court will trust an officer's judgment about what is "interfering" more than yours. So if an officer orders you to stand back, do so.
If the officer says he/she will arrest you if you continue to use your camera, in most circumstances it is better to put the camera away and call the ACLU for help, rather than risking arrest.
Police officers may not generally confiscate or demand to view your photographs or video or search the contents your cell phone without a warrant. In addition, it is possible that courts may approve the seizure of a camera in some circumstances if police have a reasonable, good-faith belief that it contains evidence of a crime by someone other than the police themselves (it is unsettled whether they still need a warrant to view them). (Note: This section has been updated to reflect the June 2014 US Supreme Court decision in Riley v. California, in which the court held that police need a warrant to search a cellphone.)

pwned.

You idiots ever been targeted by the police?


I have. In two weeks in our small town, I got two tickets for 36 in a 30 and one for not coming to a complete stop. Because I turned my wheel a tiny bit as I was at a complete stop, watching the officer on my bumper. Those tickets cost over 800 dollars. I was pulled over 5 times in two weeks.

When you have been harassed by police you get sick of it and their intimidation pretty quick.

White privilege

Lol wut? You and your family partake in gay activities. You sicko!

If the executive who is ultimately responsible for the
actions of the officers under their charge fails to fire
this psycho cop then he/she is intentionally sending the
message that this unjustified drawing of a service firearm
is acceptable in their agency or department.

This would constitute gross incompetence in my opinion.
Local elected officials must be brought to bear on this
situation to get these psycho (or negligent) cops under
control - and to protect the public from harm.

Any cop who pulls out a firearm while on duty should be
immediately given a drug test to check for use of illegal
steroids, amphetamines, etc...

Is it me or did the cop say, "Copy this is the guy." That would imply this was not a random stop.

who approached who? In the video I saw the costumed badge holder got out of his car with a drawn sidearm and advanced on a man in the driveway of his own home.

Did you see a different video other than the one posted here?

This is where it is going all right. Too bad many people are incapable of recognizing it.

i know my opinion doesn't mater but i will say it anyway , the cop wast a steroid looking angry guy , he even said if u want you can go home, he just wanted him to remove his hand from his pockets . The guy with the camera was acting suspicious, how can we know he wasn't scouting the neighborhood to rob the houses ? filming the times that the cops patrol the area? show respect and you get respect back thats my philosophy

1. apparently the guy had one hand in a pocket while filming. I guess the costumed person was in fear for his life.

2. Why would someone bent on robbery/burglary be filming the police?

3. The man had some kind of trouble with the local police before. Which raises suspicion that this was some kind of police harassment.

4. Filming the police is a perfectly legitimate method of holding "public servants" accountable.

5. The man was at his own house. How does that translate as acting "suspicious"?

3:20 "You guys have done enough to my family."

There's more than just this video here?

Thread: UPDATE: Now suspended. Harper Kansas Sheriff needs sensitivity training (vid)

Several US federal courts have ruled that videoing the police in the course of their duties is a lawful, constitutionally protected activity.

No need for 'covert filming'.

^^^this

If you go looking for a fight, you'll find one

meh... community relations here between citizens and police are very good. They would worsen if citizens treated every cop with suspicion, and filmed them all the time and said like troubled teenagers "i'm not obliged to tell you" when asked what they're doing.

Grow up! It's called a relationship.

Any yes, I posit that the cameraman increased his chances of death by his stupid actions.

cameraman was immature douche.

had he been a man it could have all been cleared up without incident.

What job was the cop doing? Blatantly parking in front of him for no reason to harass and intimidate? Fuck California, commie shithole tyranny state.
